A Hazy Shade of Mist Descends in Kuala Lumpur

This is the fourth time I've been in a city when a haze hits it.

First was in Hong Kong, during summer, when the city was hit by this toxic haze of pollution as all the usok of the factories of Shenzhen blew into the city.  It was acrid, masakit sa mata na haze.

Same din in Singapore, when, in a bid of wrong timing, visited the city when the usok of all the burning trees in Sumatra blew into the city.

And then in Beijing, around this time of the year, when the air turned a bit yellow, due daw to the dunes and the winds coming from the Gobi desert, mixing with the city's notorious car pollution.

Here naman in KL, some people are walking around wearing the blue mask, but wala namang smell ang haze.  I don't even know if it's pollution or are they burning trees again in Sumatra.  But that island is far away!

Anyhow, the city looks like London when the early morning fog starts to dissipate.  It's like the mist is really in the city.  Di lang nga malamig.
